Maker's Notes

The Pacific Northwest is known for growing high acid apples that make tart, crisp ciders. These are the "dessert" apples you find at the grocery store like Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Gala, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith. The Original Hard Apple captures the sweet aroma of fresh pressed dessert apples and finishes dry and crisp. We ferment with a champagne yeast that accentuates the the brite tart flavor of the fruit and lends to a bubbly finish. No sulfites are added so you can enjoy this one fresh with no worries.

Maker's Notes

Pineapples and hops provide a juicy tropical aroma that unfolds into a fruity semi-dry finish. The challenge with bold ingredients is balance and we've made it our job to give you just the right amount of hop bitterness to balance out the sweet pineapple. As with our other fruit ciders, we age this one on pureed pineapples, instead to using concentrates or extracts. You get authentic flavor without the highly processed ingredients. We like Pineapple Hop with shrimp, tacos, and mixed into tropical cocktails.
